Have a great weekend everyone!

 

[kirsty_baird_26]

Have a fab weekend too and i love my step counter app too tells how much i walked x

 

[g_2012]

Wow you are so active! Food looks brilliant as always hope your starting to feel better, certainly sounds like you have more energy. Have a great weekend! x

 

[gemma1985]

Thanks Gill I'm trying to keep syns between 5-6 too as I'm close to target see what effect it has, I feel fantastic the last few days the exercise has done me the world of good! Going to take a packed lunch with me tomorrow and pack it full of protein for our climb, really looking forward to it now I'm at a christening all day Sunday so I will be drinking (hence the Monday off ) but I will eat lunch before I go and just have some salad or fruit from the buffet so food wise I'll be fine - it's never the food that bothers me it's the alcohol that gets me!

 

[g_2012]

Weekend sounds brill and dont worry about Sunday. A day off plan occasionally shouldnt do any harm

You are so close to target now, got my fingers crossed for you for wi next week. Im sure your going to be at target by your holidays x

 

[gemma1985]

I'm not actually going to group on Tuesday I booked in my new tattoo a few months back and forgot about group so I can't make it, although depending on what time it's finished I may try and make the 7pm session.

 

[g_2012]

If you dont make it, have you got another wi before your holiday?

 

[gemma1985]

Oh yeah I'm just missing this week, I've got 5 weeks until my hol...

Had a change of plan for tea



Two pieces of salmon cooked in balsamic vinegar, carrot and swede mash, garlic mushrooms, BNS wedges and red cabbage (1.5 syns) and yes those are my usual portion sizes!haha

 

[g_2012]

Looks yummy!!

 

[gemma1985]

Really enjoyed it but I am stuffed now! I'll start posting pics now I've got the app on my phone

 

[Nanny Doreen]

2lb off! Sooo happy honestly I swear by scan bran haha

Hi Gemma, I have been reading through your posts and food diaries. Very interesting and I have learnt some things for green days. I felt very sad the week you didn`t get your target, I felt like I was reading a story and couldn`t wait to get to the next page. If you don`t mind I would love to carry on following you.
I too like scan bran but also never thought of having jam on them. Will give it a try. I have been doing EE but decided to try some red and green.

Good luck for your next WI.

 

[gemma1985]

Hi nanny

Thank you so much for your post and of course I don't mind you following, the more the merrier and pleased I can't be of some help to someone

I have never got my head around the EE plan having done SW for so long and I prefer the structure and extra HE's on red/green. I used to do a lot of green days but mostly try to stick to red now.

Do you go to group? If you need any help or advice please just ask or any recipes
